Brewster Washers

COMPANY HISTORY
Wm. H. Brewster, Jr., Inc., was founded by Bill Brewster Jr., an accomplished tool and die maker, in 1919. Originally located in Newark, NJ, the firm used to manufacture tools, dies, and metal stampings for metal working firms. A proponent of “old school” traditions, Mr. Brewster was a craftsman proud of his trade, his tools, and his commitment to the virtue of hard work. He shared his passion for the industry with his two daughters, Katherine and Marguerite, both of whom he personally trained and mentored in the highly-specialized field of manufacturing precision round washers, shims and discs.
After Bill Brewster’s death in 1958, the company relocated to Fairfield, NJ. Katherine and Marguerite Brewster shared the responsibility of carrying on their father’s legacy.
With Marguerite's passing in 2000, and Katherine's in 2010, leadership of the company passed to Salvatore Freda, Sr., a member of the Brewster team since 1952. Upon Mr. Freda's retirement in 2012, Salvatore Freda Jr., with over 20 years' experience working for the company, assumed the role of President and has opened the door to include custom precision parts.
Sal, and the entire Brewster staff, take great pride in the fact that all their parts are made in the USA, using American-made materials. The United States flag is ever present both inside and outside their facility, symbolizing both the patriotism and passion they possess in being a U.S. manufacturer. The commitment to quality is also evident in their ISO 9001:2008 certification as well as the numerous awards for quality received throughout the years from various high-tech aerospace customers. As Bill Brewster once said, and Sal Jr. continues to instill in his employees: 'Good, Better, Best--Never let it Rest, Until your Good is Better and your Better is Best.'
Brewster Washers: Manufacturer of Round and Flat Metal Washers, Plastic Washers, Shims, Discs, Spacers and Insulators
For nearly 100 years, Brewster Washers has been manufacturing flat washers, shims, discs, and more recently, specialty flat odd-shaped parts as well as parts with multiple holes. We typically work with material tolerances that are .0005' on thickness and +/- .005' to .001' on Inside Diameters (ID) and Outside Diameters (OD).
Our washers and specialty metal parts are made from a variety of materials: both pre-tempered and annealed Steel; Stainless Steel in all grades and hardness specifications; Copper; Brass; Aluminum; Phosphor Bronze annealed and hardened as well as semi-exotics such as Inconel, and Monel. We also manufacture parts from PTFE, Nylon, Nylatron, and plastics in a variety of colors to meet customer specifications. ​
Brewster Washers manages all aspects of the manufacturing process within its Fairfield, NJ facility: from receiving raw material and incoming inspection, to tool building, stamping, deburring, and final inspections. We work with local firms to perform specialty inspection processes such as Magnetic Particle Inspections, FPI, post-production plating, lapping and polishing to customer specific thicknesses. All operations are integrated into our manufacturing process and copies of all certifications are available when required.
Unlike traditional washer manufacturers who produce washers that conform to either USS, SAE, DIN or other standards, Brewster specializes in manufacturing custom parts while conforming to the customer's specifications or blueprints. We never charge for tooling on orders, or have any minimum quantity requirement.
Brewster Washers is proud to be an ISO 9001:2015 Certified Quality Systems Company.
